Common Volume - Dry Conversions
Unit Information & History
Bushel
Definition: A unit of dry volume equal to 4 pecks or 8 dry gallons.
History: Originally based on a physical container used to transport grain in medieval times. It was standardized in the UK in 1824 and the US adopted a slightly different version based on the older Winchester bushel.
Current Use: Still widely used in agriculture for measuring large quantities of produce like corn, wheat, and apples.
Peck
Definition: A unit of dry volume equal to 2 dry gallons or 1/4 of a bushel.
History: Derived from the Old French "pek", referring to a measuring vessel. Referenced in the nursery rhyme "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers".
Current Use: Used primarily in agriculture for produce measurement, specifically for apples and other fruits sold in baskets.
Dry Gallon
Definition: A unit of dry volume equal to 1/8 of a bushel or 4.404 liters.
History: Distinct from the liquid gallon. While the liquid gallon is based on the volume of wine, the dry gallon was used for grain.
Current Use: Rarely used today outside of specific agricultural contexts, having been largely replaced by weight (pounds/kg) or the bushel.
